Module 1: Introduction to Forest Genetics and Tree Improvement

Tree Improvement 101

April 5th, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM

 

The first module of this series will introduce concepts of population genetics to learn how genes are distributed across the landscape for forest trees.

We’ll also look at life history traits, traits we use for selection, and types of common gardens. We’ll also start exploring the relationship between phenotype and genotype and learn how breeding programs separate genetic and environmental effects to advance their goals.
